The most severe snowstorm this season and worst bliz
zard in two years to rake the University is slated to end
this morning, according to the U.S. Weather Bureau.
Temperatures of five through 10 degrees are predict
ed for the next 24 hours in the aftermath of a 30 mile an
hour northerly wind which howled through Lincoln last
night.
With six inches of snow reported Monday noon and
four through six more expected to fall during the night,
Chancellor's Assistant James Pittinger said Monday eve
ning that "as of now he saw no reason to call off classes
for Tuesday."
"Our final decision to be made Monday night will de
pend not on the number of off-campus students who can
not reach the campus but on the number of faculty who
can't get through to teach those students who can reach
the classroom," Pittinger said.
Snow Removal
"We have had considerable trouble with the attitude
of people who drive cars in relation to removing the snow
from parking lots," said Charles F. Fowler, director of the
division of buildings and grounds.

Teachers College
Program Changes
Await Approval
By Wendy Rogers
A number of proposals for program
changes in Teachers College are now awaiting
action by the college faculty.
Topping the list of proposals is the recom
mendation for a change in the general require
ments for the Bachelor of Music in Educaton,
Bachelor of Fine Arts, and Bachelor of Science
degrees.
This nronosal has been
made by the Teachers Col
lege National Council for the
Accreditation of Teacher Ed'
ucation steering committee
No proposal has been made
at this time for a change in
the requirements for a Bach
elor of Arts degree m Edu
cation, according to Norman
Thorpe, assistant dean.
The committee recommen
tiations are as follows:
The English composition
requirement of 6 hours will
usually be met by earning
credit in English B, 1, and
2 (6 hours), or 3 and 4 (6
hours).
Humanities
Under the humanities re
quirement of 9 hours, selec
tions will usually be made
from at least two fields. Not
less than 6 hours will be chos
en from the historical, criti
cal, theoretical courses in
art, dance, music, speech
and dramatic art, philosophy
(other than logic), and litera
ture (English or foreign lan
guage). The remaining hours
may be selected from other
courses in art, dance, music,
speech and drama.
The physical education,
military, naval, or air sci-j
ence requirement will be 4
hours.
Selections for the social
sciences requirement of 9
hours will be made from one
of the following laboratory
sciences: astronomy, biolo
gy, botany, chemistry, earth
science, geography (61 and
62), geology, physics, physiology-public
health, or zoology.
Selection for the 6 hours of
elective choices will be made
from one of the following op
tions: foreign language, 6

Latest enrollment figures
show that all 93 Nebraska

students at the University, ac
cording to Dr. Floyd Hoover,
registrar.
Lancaster County leads all
Nebraska counties with a total

Omaha student totals is the

humanities (extra), 3 hours;
social studies (extra), 3

Statement
Added to the recommenda
tion was the statement:
"Since one of the purposes of
the general requirements is
to secure breadth of prepara
tion, not specialization, the
student will usually be per
mitted to apply not more
than 6 hours of the general
requirements toward a teach
ing major or area of subject
matter specialization, and not
more than 9 hours toward a
teaching minor."
A proposal which has been
approved by the Department
of Secondary Education and is
now in the hands of the Course
of Study committee would give
the student teacher in both
University High School and
in public schools a half-day
experience instead of a one
hour class period.
According to Thorpe, pro
ponents of the idea feel sec
ondary student teachers
would have a better chance
to see the broader aspect of
school operations than they
do now.
The three general aspects
oi me student teacner s ex
perience would then include:
Responsibility for teach
ing one class in their major;
Responsibility for assist
ing in a class in the minor
or a different level of the
major. (Adjustments in some
cases would be made.)
Responsibility for work
ing with students outside
class, such as helping with
extra-curricular activities.
study hail duty, or assisting
as a sponsor.
Other proposals by the De
partment of Secondary Edu-
tion which are now in the pre
liminary stages are for the
revision of the total program
of secondary education pro
fessional courses, and for a
"fifth year" program for
graduates of colleges other
than Teachers College, such as
the College of -Arts and Sci
ences. The department is also con
sidering a proposal dealing
with special preparation for
junior high school teachers.
The Department of Ele
mentary Education is now
studying their total program
for training elementary
teachers.

"The snow removal crew was on the job at 2 a.m. this
morning to clear walks in time for classes," Fowler added.
"Using six snow tractors and a Michigan loader, we should
be able to get to the parking lots sometime this morning,
depending on the drifting."
Classes were called off Thursday, Mar. 5, 1959 when
snow blanketed the campus. "The difficulty of traveling
to campus plus the problem of parking cars on the snowy
streets and lots was the basis for the decision," Pittinger
said.
7 a.m.
Announcement came at 7 and 11 a.m. on Lincoln radios
that the Chancellor had dismissed classes for the morning
and afternoon respectively.
"The blizzard is caused by a storm center from New
Mexico coming through Valentine, Nebr., and spreading
eastward," the Weather Bureau reported.
The five day forecast looks for temperatures several
degrees below seasonal normal w ith snow falling early in the
five day period, the bureau said, with warnings out for
"critical" weather over a wide area.
Snows had reached depths of 12 inches at Sutton and
10 at DeWeese and Grand Island by Monday evening.
Visibility was down to three-fourths of a mile in several
areas over the slate as United and Frontier Airlines were
standing by for flight advisories Monday, expecting eve
ning flight cancellations.
The snow that choked Lincoln streets and driveways
two years ago began falling on the 27th and 28th of Dec,
leaving some six inches on the ground, according to the
bureau.
"That 1959-60 winter a total of 54.3 inches of snow was
reported," added the bureau. "This compares with total
snowfall of 12.4 inches last winter."

HUSKERS CLIP
NOTRE DAME
By Dave Wohlfarth
Coach Jerry Bush's "Hust
ling" Huskers pulled the rab
bit out of the hat in the im
age of Rex Swett to stage a
65-61 come-from-behind bas
ketball win over Notre Dame
on the NU maples last night.
The 2,000 Husker fans who
braved the cold, snowy night
witnessed a tense battle,
spiced with some clutch per
formances from several Ne
braska cagers.
Nebraska's number one tor
pedo in the battle was Swett,
6-1 senior guard, who re
turned to the Husker lineup
after missing two games due
to a bad back. The fiery floor
general came out of traction
and played with a heat pack
to direct the Scarlet to their
second win of the season
against two losses.
Swett kept the Huskers alive
with several key steals and
shots, scoring 10 points, and
guided the Husker floor at
tack which came to life in
the second half.
NU Rallies
Behind 38-30 at intermis
sion, Nebraska started click
ing through the shooting eyes
of Daryl Petsch, big Bill Bow

Irish and protect its lead in
the final minutes.
